Moakley Courthouse Connections- Cameron
The Moakley Courthouse was an interesting place. I enjoyed the field trip. Like Philip said, the layout of the place was very interesting. I liked how the names on the plaque of everyone who helped build the courthouse is equal. No name is bigger than others. It shows equality. The layout of the courtroom promotes equality too. The witness sits directly across from the jury, so they will be eye to eye. When the lawyer stands up, s/he will be on the same level as the judge. Equality is big in this place.
The Moakley Courthouse can connect to our project. Our cases went to high levels of the court. While they may not have passsed through the Moakley Courthouse, they passed through courts on the same level and above. It goes back to what Allan mentioned. Our tourguide talked about the triangle/pyramid of the court system. I take that away from the field trip. It helped me better realize the structure of the judical system and where cases may go.
